Peratellada - Cadaqués Get Away: Part II

While Grandma and Grandpa were here we all managed to get away for a weekend, despite any other business or chaos ; ).  We visited an old favorite (Part I pics, from 2006, are at the end of the post) and had a nice time showing some old and new Favorites around.  XO

Cadaqués -

 It was sunny.

 The streets were beautiful.

 Picturesque European waterfront -- plus a cute kid and her mommy.

 Someone loves the camera ...

 ... and the camera loves her.

 Gotta get in a silly shot.

Peratallada -

We stayed in the same "rural tourism" farmhouse as we did 6 years ago.  It was as lovely as we'd remembered and totally new with the kids.

 "Kikiriki!"

 They LOVED standing at the window in the morning and calling back and forth with the roosters.

Daddy about to enter after packing up the car in his "La Roja" t-shirt.  Totally appropriate since Spain kicked butt in the Eurocup later that day!

 Licking pretend "chupa-chups." 

 Outside our flat in the greater house -- precious.

 The barn -- so much fun for kids of all ages (er, cough-cough, Grandpa -- okay, Mommy too).

 Lovely girl, chow time for the cows behind.  From what we could tell, it was always chow time.

 Now, that's a proper farmhouse door!

 The village of Peratallada at a distance.

 Yes, those are giant bales of hay behind our lovely daughter.

 The farm (and Grandpa) at a distance.

Part I:  James and I got away for a long weekend during the winter months when were lived here in ´06.  It is one of the trips we remember most fondly of all that we've taken.

 From the same vantage point as the "Peretallada at a distance" picture taken above, just a slight turn.

 The village at sunset.

 Cadaqués by day.

 It was much colder ...

 Windier ...

 Rainier ...

 Yet, so amazing!

Yes, definitely amazing.

I'm sure we'll be back, probably to the same little farmhouse.  We'll probably wander the same little streets, and it will probably feel like the same sweet respite as it did the first two times.  It will also probably be as equally different and new as each of the first two times.  Well, I suppose that could be said about a lot of things.

Talk soon!
